I would *definitely* strike from your list all the names ending in -y or the -ee sound, as you already have Ruby and Lucy. You might also pick monosyllabic or 3-syllable names for variety, too. Every single name on your list is 2 syllables and 3/4 of them end with the same sound, -ee.

I tend to agree, but my husband really wants the names to all "go together" and he feels like the "ee" ending is important. If it is two girls, I will probably be more willing to push us to move in another direction. If it's one girl/one boy, I will probably choose another "ee" name so that all the girls have that connection. Pearl won't work because it's Lucy's middle name, but Violet is on our list.

Since Pearl is already Lucy's mn, haven't you already honored Great Grandma Margaret and wouldn't Mae, Daisy, and Maggie be a bit redundant? Out of the 3 I think Daisy is the most (only) usable option for you. I really do agree with you that if there is only one girl the best thing to do would be to give her a "y" ending name... But on the other hand I agree with the others that if it will be 2 girls you might not want to give either one an "ee" ending sound. Of course it does depend on your husband so here are a few to consider. =]

AmyRose & DaisyKate (flower names and long "a" sounds)Annie & Sadie (same ending sounds as R & L but I like the paired "ie" instead of "y's")Cora & Tessa (matching "a" endings and quirky vintage vibes)Molly & Poppy (I love the mirrored double letters in the middle and that they are both 5 letters long)

Well, *I* agree about Pearl, but the husband doesn't even think Mae or Daisy are going far enough. He thinks Maggie is the only way besides Margaret to honor GGma. Also, we weren't thinking of that when we named her, we just like Pearl, so he doesn't see a clear connection. Thank you for the suggestions, I really like those four pairs.

But now, I'm feeling overwhelmed in every way and have barely thought about names in the weeks since we found out. Do any of the above strike you as great twin names or is it back to the drawing board? Right now, I'm thinking Sadie & Molly or possibly Anna & Emma which maybe is too cutesy? I don't know. I'm completely open to suggestion at this point. If we have one boy/one girl, the boy would probably be Felix or Leo. What do you like for twin girls? Any strategies?
